About
Your challenge. To find out what is so special about Dartmoor’s rainforests. Join our team of experts at Yarner Wood on a fun woodland adventure with three micro missions to learn more.• Operation Bird Brain- find out more about the woodland birds and the long distance journeys many have taken. Listen to their songs and build your own birds nest
• Codename Minibeast- look at the world of Yarner wood in miniature. Find some of the minibeasts and tiny life using sweep nets and bug pots, microscopes and magnifiers
• Mission Wild Art-use the inspiration of the rainforest and its incredible wildlife; the sounds, the leaves, lichens and mosses to create your own artistic masterpiece
We’ll provide everything you need to complete your challenge led by our expert guides with id sheets and field equipment including sweep nets and binoculars
Everyone who completes all three missions will be awarded an Operation Rainforest Certificate. Let the challenge begin. We are running this as a morning or an afternoon session 9.30-12.30 or 1.30-4.30
